This 27-storey tower, with residential and hotel units, stands along
the Golden Mile in Brentford and provides a public viewing gallery
at the top. The complex design was wholly determined through
extensive research into surrounding environmental factors, including
the noise of the adjacent M4 motorway. The shape and orientation
of the building minimises the impact of wind to the public piazza.
The twin-skinned cladding protects the residents from prevailing
winds the outer skin creates an enclosure against noise, wind
and rain, whilst the inner skin acts as a thermal barrier. Artistic
light strategies are incorporated to create an active facade and
illuminate the sky at night.

Located at the northern edge of the Wembley Masterplan area,

this 450-room student accommodation tower is designed to respond
to Brent Councils ambition to improve and increase the student
accommodation offer in the area. The three stepped volumes
have been designed to resolve the massing constraints set by
the immediate context of low-scale light industrial development.
Projecting oriels, combined with handing of rooms, create a
rhythmic and textured facade. The scheme will be built using
Donbans Vision Modular System a prefabricated volumetric
construction system which combines pre-cast concrete floors and
steel panels that can be erected at the rate of eight modules a day.

This landmark 21-storey residential tower sits within the Osiers Gate
development on a former brownfield site alongside both the River
Thames and River Wandle. Each elevation responds to its unique
position, designed in reflection of its environment and orientation
to sunlight, daylight and wind. This enables residents living within
the tower and those using amenity spaces below to enjoy maximum
sunlight with appropriate screening. The buildings height is
emphasised by a graduating intensity of colour ascending the

Sitting at the heart of the Nine Elms regeneration area, Nine

Elms Parkside is a residential-led mixed-use scheme of 1,870 units.
Structured as a series of perimeter blocks with taller elements of
23 storeys, the scheme is set around a new public linear park.
The development will provide leisure, cultural and retail uses as
well as a new primary school.
The Ram Brewery Regeneration Project will transform an industrial

island site into a series of interlinked public urban spaces with
retained heritage buildings. Strategically located at the northern
end of the development, the 36-storey residential tower will signal
the regeneration of Wandsworth Town and the rediscovery of
the River Wandle. Its dynamic triangular form sits between the
river, road and new pedestrian route, emerging with varying set
back terraces. Dramatic angular corners emphasise the buildings
verticality and address the three principle approaches. The glass
and steel will be softened with timber screens and balconies,
producing a defined residential character.

These prominent towers, situated at the gateway to the Nine Elms

regeneration plan, includes a 200m tall residential building which
will become the tallest residential tower in Western Europe. The
160 metre Wanda Vista Hotel, which will accommodate 180 guest
rooms, will be the first world-class Chinese five star hotel brand in
the UK. The design carefully considers future developments in the
area, maintaining open views and maximising the potential of the
site, thus enhancing the experience for hotel guests, residents, and
occupants of the neighbouring structures. The exterior composition
steps down in stages from the highest point on the complex,
thereby relating comfortably in scale to lower elements in the
surrounding neighbourhood.

Embassy Gardens will sit at the centre of the new riverfront district
stretching from Vauxhall through to Battersea. Formed of a series
of interconnected blocks of varying heights around a raised garden
with retail and lobby functions at lower levels, the cluster will range
from four to 19 storeys. The varied heights within the block respond
to immediate context and to more distant views, with taller elements
located at key corners marking views both from the River Thames
and along the proposed Linear Park that will link the Vauxhall Nine
Elms neighbourhood together.
The existing 1.2 hectare site includes a large five-storey podium

building and a 16-storey tower both built in the 1970s. The
proposed redevelopment of the site will provide 415 residential
units, employment and retail space, new open spaces and land for
a two-form entry primary school. The existing two-level basement is
retained for parking, servicing and storage. Two residential towers,
extending to 22 and 36 storeys, will provide a transition between
the tall towers proposed to the north of the railway and the lower
rise development to the south of the tracks.

Based on the sites irregular geometry, wedged between the railway

viaduct and South Lambeth Road, the triangular shape emerged
as an unusual but efficient building form, responding to the diverse
context of the existing and emerging neighbourhoods in the
Vauxhall area. The project will house two main uses: a fitness suite
with swimming pool facility, and student accommodation including
553 en-suite bedrooms with communal kitchen and lounge facilities,
as well as amenity and service spaces. The building will be clad in
varied terracotta tiles to achieve a speckled effect, referencing the
richly textured brick buildings in the local conservation area to the
south of the site.

Located on the Albert Embankment, opposite the Tate Britain and

within sight of the Houses of Parliament, this scheme will offer a
high quality, mixed-use development of apartments and offices. At
the base of the building, a four-storey public space will be created,
offering a caf and access through to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens
via Tinworth Street. Formed of three stepped bays, the building
will provide a dynamic skyline of varying heights in contrast to the
existing wall of neighbouring developments. It is designed to create
a strong visual presence along the riverfront and act as a gateway
to east Lambeth as well as a natural gathering space.
This mixed-use development will deliver a larger Sainsburys store,

737 new dwellings (144 affordable and 593 private), flexible
business and retail floorspace, public realm improvements and
the premises for a new Northern Line underground station. The
existing Sainsburys store, located near to Vauxhall, is in need of
refurbishment and features a surface level car park, which does not
make the best use of the site. The designation of the Vauxhall Nine
Elms Battersea Opportunity Area has provided a positive planning
context to create a larger store on the site.

Located on a sharp bend of the River Thames, this cylindrical building

provides 213 luxury apartments over 50 storeys and is currently the
tallest residential tower in London. The unique floor plan concept,
based on a Catherine wheel, is divided into five apartments per floor
with separating walls radiating out from the central core. The building
uses significantly less energy than that of a conventional tall building
through the use of its ventilated cavity facade, with opening windows
to reduce reliance on air conditioning. Renewable energy sources
include heat exchange technology and a wind turbine generating
power to light communal areas.

Comprising residential, hotel and office space, these two towers

rise from a densely planted winter garden beneath a 20m high
timber-framed glazed canopy. Cafs, bars, restaurants and shops
surround the ground floors of the development. The taller of the
two towers, at 41 storeys, is designed to act as a landmark for
Vauxhall, marking the transport interchange at its foot and looking
out towards the South Bank and West End; whilst the shorter tower,
at 31 storeys, will serve as a local landmark linking Vauxhall to the
river. It aims to become one of the most environmentally efficient
multi-storey developments in London.
Forming part of the Stockwell Park Estate regeneration, this

building will rise to 20 storeys and front onto Slade Gardens,
accommodating both private and affordable homes within a tenure
blind development. Spacious dwellings with large private balconies
are designed to provide high quality living with views across London.
Redevelopment creates a timely opportunity to address the failings of
the existing building whilst creating a centre piece for Robsart Village
that will meet current design standards and local housing needs,
whilst inspiring a sense of place within a reinvigorated and balanced
community.

The regeneration of the Maiden Lane estate will provide an

additional 265 new homes, all sensitively designed to blend with
the renowned estate with a high quality approach to architectural
design and detailing. The proposed scheme is designed to reconcile
the low rise buildings to the north with the larger emerging buildings
of the Kings Cross masterplan, culminating in a 20-storey residential
tower to complement the Kings Cross cluster on the other side
of York Way. The redevelopment also includes a mixed-use
development of retail and workspace to front York Way, which

of retail space, housing approximately 7,000 employees when
complete. The Grade II listed building at 19-21 Billiter Street will be
restored and integrated into the proposed scheme, with the vertical
slices of the new buildings form carefully arranged around it. The
vertical composition is designed to complement the neighbouring
curved and leaning buildings, whilst remaining hidden along the
ceremonial route to St Pauls Cathedral. Ground floor frontages will
be set back, creating generous pedestrian zones, wider pavements
and spaces along key pedestrian routes on adjacent streets.

The redevelopment strategy for this South Bank site enables a multiphased delivery of 1.4 million square feet. This will consist of nine
buildings, producing 492 residential units and 300,000 square feet
of commercial space including residential towers, offices, retail and
new cultural and performance spaces, and new pedestrian routes
through the site and public squares. The cluster will range in height
from five to 48 storeys.
This 20-storey mixed-use development is set to provide

233,000 square feet of offices above 4,800 square feet of retail,
along with a separate building providing 10 private market flats.
Early, pre-completion, lettings to UBM and Boodle Hatfield totalling
129,000 square feet (representing 55 per cent of the offices) is
testament to the quality and flexibility of the office floors which are
capable of accommodating one person per eight square metres.

Located at the northern edge of the Elephant and Castle, Eileen

House comprises a 335-unit, 41-storey residential tower and
an adjacent eight-storey office building. The scheme will bring
significant new public spaces and improvements to the wider public
realm, contributing to the ongoing regeneration project. Reflecting
the geometry of the site, the building has a parallelogram-shaped
footprint, allowing 10 residential units around a central core on a
typical floor. The east and west of the tower top is sculpted by two
triangular cuts, clad with a veil of photovoltaic louvres, contrasting
with the stone of the tower body.
The development of the Newington Butts site in Elephant and Castle

will deliver one of the largest private rental developments seen
in the capital for decades, containing 462 units, 188 of which will
be affordable. The design comprises a compact, slender tower,
animated by suspended corner balconies and will offer panoramic
views across London. The tower is accompanied by a seven-storey
terrace building with multiple entrances to enliven the street. As well
as these residential units, the site will also include a new theatre
space for the Southwark Playhouse and a caf with further retail
and marketing spaces.
Conceived as one of the gateway buildings into the regenerated

Elephant and Castle area, the building is triangular in plan and
consists of three separate vertical volumes that vary in height to
better relate visually to the height of Metro Central Heights and
surrounding context. The three volumes are constructed from an
off-white precast concrete with solid infill panels of a contrasting
hue and texture, giving the buildings elevations a civic quality. The
building will contain 38 homes, offices and a small caf / kiosk unit.

The Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe, is a mixed-use

high rise tower, or more accurately, a vertical city. The building
consists of 28 stories of office space, 12 floors of residential, six
mid-levels of public space, and 18 stories for the future European
flagship hotel for Shangri-La. A four-storey viewing gallery offers
360-degree views of London. This distinctive addition to the London
skyline is set to welcome more than 8,000 workers, residents and
hotel guests a day and more than two million public visitors a year.
The project also included a new concourse to London Bridge Station
and external public realm works.
Occupying a small, wedge-shaped site in Bankside, this residential

tower is divided into one flat per floor, and provides an upper floor
with panoramic views across the whole of London. The scheme also
includes a retail unit at ground level and a communal belvedere at
the top.

accommodation, and an enhanced public realm. Residential units
will be finished with full-height windows to maximise views, serviced
by a range of on-site amenities including a swimming pool and
roof gardens. The innovative scheme retains the existing exterior
vertical expression and extends the 30-storey building by 11 floors.
Targeting a BREEAM Excellent and Code for Sustainable Homes
4 rating, the reuse of the existing structure is anticipated to save in
excess of 6,000 tonnes of CO2.
This mixed-use development retains an existing Art Deco building

and adds a new residential tower. The project includes an arts
courtyard surrounded by studio workshops and over 6,000 square
metres of ground floor offices, restaurants and cafs, along with
276 units of high quality private and affordable housing and
facilities for the locality. The building has been conceived as an
elegant landmark, which will contribute positively to the streetscape
by providing new frontages and a vibrant public space.

This scheme will introduce a cluster of brick-clad tall and lower

buildings on an intensely constrained inner city site of only 0.764
hectare. The overall development consists of three residential towers
of 21, 24 and 25 floors with retail units at ground floor level and a
lower 160-bed hotel building. One tower also provides lower level
office space. The 463 new residential units on the site offer mixed
tenures of affordable and private units at a density of 606 units per
hectare. A double basement under the eastern end provides a small
number of car parking space, cycle parking and an energy centre.
Replacing an existing office building, this new-build student

accommodation tower includes 417 student room units, all with
self-contained kitchen and bathroom facilities. Communal spaces
will be provided at ground and first floor, as well as a sky lounge
and accessible terrace on the 18th floor, offering views across the
London skyline. A new retail unit is also proposed at ground floor
level. The building aims to reduce carbon emissions with energy
efficient design and renewable technologies to meet BREEAM
Excellent.
This masterplan for a seven-acre mixed-use scheme will provide

920 new homes, student housing, a hotel, and ground floor uses to
include shops, restaurants, bars, offices, local training centre and
new community space. It aims to create a high-density inner-city
neighbourhood incorporating a renewable and sustainable energy
strategy, including low energy cooling measures, green roofs and
over 0.8 hectare of public space. Rising from the courtyard blocks,
six slender towers share their cores with the lower blocks, in order
to maximise plan efficiencies. A series of new public spaces and
streets aim to improve the permeability of the area.

The St Andrews tower forms part of a bigger masterplan with an

overall of 964 residential units. This building comprises of two levels
of undercroft parking, ground floor entrance lobby, residential gym,
a small local supermarket and 24 floors of residential units. The 180
units are arranged around a central core and corridor with nine
units per floor, all with a projecting balcony. The units are stacked
to form a cluster of smaller towers ending at different heights,
creating private and communal roof terraces.
Providing 575 high quality apartments, this scheme will also include
retail, restaurant, bar and resident amenity spaces on the ground
first and second floor levels, along with a leisure level on the 24th
floor. An innovative structural form allows the building to span over
the Jubilee Line tunnels that run directly beneath, generating the
diamond fenestration design, which provides a striking appearance
and a sense of enclosure for the balconies. The 40 per cent glass
facade will optimise solar gain, and the building is set to perform

Marking the start of a new chapter for the Canary Wharf Estate,
this landmark, high-rise building will deliver a significant quantity
of high quality new housing and will set a benchmark for future
projects within the Wood Wharf masterplan. As a fundamental
design objective, the goal of creating a design that is iconic in
form whilst human in scale has been central to the ambition of the
project. The overall composition of the building is an aggregation of
three apartment typologies, creating a unique form with a clearly
identifiable bottom, middle and top.
Wood Wharf is one of central Londons largest development sites,

and this high density, mixed-use development aims to maximise
the potential of the waterfront and public realm, establish new
connections to existing and planned public transport networks, and
build on the success of the Canary Wharf estate. The masterplan
creates a strong and complimentary mix of uses, providing over
3,000 new homes, nearly two million square feet of high quality
commercial office space, and a further 250,000 square feet of
retail uses.

range of views available from the site, over public gardens and
the waters edge. Duplex and lateral penthouses are located on
the upper levels of each volume, some with access to private
roof gardens. Active frontages will be created at ground level,
responding to the different characteristics of the neighbouring
public realm and buildings, and will aid in promoting activity and
permeability through the site.

Comprising 752 private residential apartments, 70 shared

ownership apartments and 162 serviced apartments, this tower is
located at the western end of South West India Dock and joins a
group of consented tall buildings in the immediate vicinity, including
Riverside South and Heron Quays West. The building is designed
as a clean rectilinear form marking the termination of the dock. A
triple-glazed facade provides a continuous skin behind which all
apartments enjoy private winter gardens, shared amenity spaces
and landscaped terraces. A separate single-storey building located
on the dockside will provide a publicly accessible roof garden and
outdoor areas as well as an indoor play space and caf.
This residential tower will contain 121 apartments, a gym and spa,
ground floor commercial space and a courtyard garden, all set
within a public realm strategy that opens up the dockside walkway.
Its design addresses the two key aspects, east and west, by creating
two crystalline forms, with the apartment plan driving the shaping
of these forms. The widest elevations have a winter garden across
their entire width, clad in horizontal glass louvres. On the western
facade these louvres incline both outwards and inwards to create a
cascade; a waterfall falling into the dock.
Offering serviced apartments and a hotel, this scheme, sited along

Marsh Wall, marks a dramatic transition in scale between the
high-rise towers of Canary Wharf to the north and the residential
streets to the south. With a proposed height ranging from 30 down
to eight storeys, the design seeks to mediate its surroundings and
provide transitional relief for the skyline. To the north of the site
the building dramatically steps up in height to emulate the highreaching, slender proportions of surrounding tall buildings, whilst at
the south, the form steps down to street level. The building is further
linked to its residential surrounds with stonework sympathetic to the
existing fabric.
This prominent roundabout site at the heart of Lewisham Town

Centre will be redeveloped as a high-density mixed-use scheme
comprising retail, leisure, office and residential with reconfigured
infrastructure and road layouts masterplanned by Arup. The
first phase of the development comprises 195 new homes for
private sale and private rent together with concierge and retail
uses at ground floor. The design works within the parameters of
outline planning consent with 22- and 15-storey towers differing
in character and materials. The landscape design celebrates the
confluence of the Quaggy and Ravensborne Rivers, a key feature
of the site, by creating a new public park at their meeting point.

788 residential units (including 146 affordable units), a leisure centre
and 1,700 square metres of commercial floor space, served by
a community energy system incorporating a combined heat and
power (CHP) plant and renewable energy technologies.
This landmark regeneration scheme aims to transform an

overlooked 30-acre site on the edge of zone 1 into a 21st century
village with 2,500 new homes and a mix of non-residential uses
including sport, health, faith, business and creative uses. An array
of tall towers ranging from 21 to 27 storeys provide symmetry and
identity across the development, with carefully selected positioning
to complement existing housing in the area. New transport
infrastructure, including a new overground station, cycle and
walking routes, a community park and vibrant open spaces, will

Within an 88-acre regeneration scheme, this project will provide

219 homes within two blocks of 10 and 20 storeys situated within the
Royal Arsenal Conservation Area and bounded by numerous listed
buildings. Inspired by these historic surroundings, the buildings are
elevated in light buff stock bricks, accentuated with darker feature
brickwork panels and punctuated with floor to ceiling windows
and white stone effect cills. The proposed design complements the
previous phase designs whilst allowing the towers to be expressed
over a number of grouped floors, reducing the appearance of
height. Southern orientated podium courtyards maximises sunlight,
providing private gardens for residents.

These 35- and 15-storey buildings will be linked by a car park

deck at the second and third floor, allowing for residential
accommodation to be situated above the fourth floor away from
the noise of the Bow Flyover. Landscaped public gardens meet the
Bow Back River, while shared amenity space and childrens play
areas are provided on the fourth floor. The form of the building
ensures that dwellings receive excellent sunlight levels, all with
generous winter garden balconies commanding views across
London and the Olympic Park. The project is to achieve Code for
Sustainable Homes level 4 and Lifetime Homes standard.

Offering a mix of residences and commercial space, along with

a gym and restaurant, the design aims to produce a building of
lightness and reflectivity that hopes to be a positive addition to
the Ilford townscape and a source of civic pride. In order to dilute
the perception of mass, the building has been broken down into
three massing elements: a commercial-use podium and the main
residential element consisting of 294 apartments arranged in two
towers of varying heights. The podium, perceived by pedestrians
at ground level, maintains the existing contextual street pattern,
relating to adjacent building heights and alignment.
